Officials of the Schools Cricket Association are involved in a double-game, drawing allowances from two places, reports.

They get monthly allowances and other support from Sri Lanka Cricket, but tell the education minister otherwise, and obtain advantages from him too.

Executive committee members of the association receive a Rs. 45,000 allowance and a travelling allowance for each meeting, in addition to their Education Ministry paid salaries.
